Cup, ring and groove marked rock west of the path between Black Hill and Loftshaw Gill is a prehistoric rock art panel located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a bedrock surface bearing cup marks, ring marks, and groove marks, characteristic of Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial rock art traditions in northern England. Such marked rocks are typically assigned to the second millennium before Christ, though their precise function remains debated among scholars. The site's location on open moorland, away from domestic settlement, suggests its role in Bronze Age ceremonial or symbolic practice within the broader landscape of the southern Pennines.
